[Ebstein's anomaly. Prenatal diagnosis with bidimensional echocardiography]

Area of Science:

• Perinatology
• Fetal Cardiology
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital heart condition affecting the tricuspid valve.
• Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defects remains a challenge.
• Ultrasonography is a key tool in modern obstetrics.

Observation:

• The study details in utero signs of Ebstein anomaly observed via cross-sectional ultrasonography.
• Specific sonographic features indicative of the anomaly were identified.

Findings:

• Obstetric ultrasonography demonstrated characteristic findings associated with Ebstein anomaly.
• The cross-sectional imaging provided valuable insights into the fetal cardiac anatomy.

Implications:

• Ultrasonography offers significant potential for the prenatal diagnosis of Ebstein anomaly.
• These imaging techniques can be applied to identify other complex prenatal conditions.
• Early prenatal diagnosis can inform management strategies and improve fetal outcomes.
